Pentasa and Levoxyl drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data
Summary:
Drug interactions are reported among people who take Pentasa (mesalamine) and Levoxyl (levothyroxine sodium). Common drug interactions include mitral valve incompetence among females and hypersensitivity among males.
The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Pentasa and Levoxyl. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 26 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
What is Pentasa?
Pentasa has active ingredients of mesalamine. It is often used in crohn's disease. eHealthMe is studying from 23,325 Pentasa users. Check the latest studies of Pentasa.
What is Levoxyl?
Levoxyl has active ingredients of levothyroxine sodium. It is often used in hypothyroidism. eHealthMe is studying from 25,178 Levoxyl users. Check the latest studies of Levoxyl.
26 people who take Pentasa and Levoxyl together, and have interactions are studied.
